…
The group of revolutionary mages headed by Cook did not rush out of the concert hall. They knew very well that they were in the center of Banluo City. Once those destructive magics were presented outside the carefully prepared concert hall, they would be on their own. Seeking death. Both the Magic Association and the leader of Banluo City have the power to execute this group of people on the spot.
Zhao Manyan looked back at the concert hall and saw the crown-shaped dome of the concert hall. The conductor Cook in a tuxedo was standing there. The wind pushed the messy hair in front of him, revealing his vicious pair of eyes. Incomparably and extremely unwilling eyes!
He stared at Zhao Manyan, it was this guy who ruined his big deal!
"I hope their faction doesn't monopolize power, otherwise I may die without a burial place." Zhao Manyan touched his nose and said.
"They won't."
"Gah!"
As soon as Shanxia finished speaking, she heard a strange sound coming from the crown dome.
Cook didn't know when he had a dagger in his hand. He inserted the dagger directly into his throat. It was the kind that went straight through. The blood overflowed out as quickly as the spring water under his feet.
Bright red stained Cook's black tuxedo. His eyes were still staring at Zhao Manyan, as if he was about to turn into a ghost.
Life passed quickly. Conductor Cook fell from a height and fell into the spring outside the concert hall. He apparently died.
"It seems that he doesn't want to implicate the political power behind the scenes." Zhao Manyan was not surprised by Cook's behavior.
After all, the regime faction is also a big force on the surface, and may even become the leader of several countries near the Andes due to a certain direction. In order to gain the support of the bank president, the yellow flag faction attempted to kidnap like this. Such an extreme act, it would take less than a day for the bank chief who holds the economic power of the Andean Federation to demand justice from the people of the yellow flag regime.
As the chief figure in this operation, Cook had no way of surviving under the pressure of such a big shot.
But the action failed.
He committed suicide now. To put it bluntly, he took all the blame on himself and had nothing to do with the factional fight.
Regardless of whether this matter can be settled or not, he is still a dead man.
"These days, these people are like lunatics and can do anything. In fact, I don't plan to tell my father about this matter," Shanxia said.
"Are you afraid that your father will do something extreme?" Zhao Manyan asked.
Shanxia shook her head and said: "Actually, no matter whether I am kidnapped by them or not, it cannot change my father's decision. He only has eyes for the Andean Empire now, and I am just a marriage tool for him to gather more sources of funds. Sigh, forget it, you may not quite understand the plight of a person like me, but in fact I shouldn’t let you get involved in such right and wrong.”
Zhao Manyan smiled.
How could he not understand?
Maybe my family is richer than yours!
The marriage she talks about is actually nothing more than a perfect match.
The Zhao Consortium cooperated with the Andes Imperial Bank to use the marriage between Zhao Youqian and Shanxia to consolidate mutual trust. From the beginning, Zhao Manyan understood Shanxia's situation and even more understood why Zhao Youqian chose Shanxia as his sister-in-law.
"Go back to Ojos Holy Academy. It will probably be more peaceful there." Shanxia didn't even look at Cook's body.
No matter how frightened or humiliated she was, Shanxia could only swallow it when she thought of the conflicts and frictions caused by speaking out. In short, it would be fine if everything was fine, but she didn't know if it would be as good next time. It's your luck to meet such a magician.
"Well, I'll take you back." Zhao Manyan said.
He held Shanxia's back and walked towards the central square. At this time, a man wearing a simple jacket hurried over with a panic look on his face.
"Miss Shanxia, are you okay? I didn't receive the signal just now," the man in the jacket said.
"It's okay, I accidentally turned it off. I didn't want to affect my interest in listening to music." Shanxia replied.
"Oh, that's good...this should be instructor Zhao Yanzu, I have also taken your patrol class." The man in the jacket said with a smile.
"You're the guy who bombed other people's fields, right?" Zhao Manyan pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, yes, I'm really ashamed. In fact, I am Miss Shanxia's companion and also serve as a bodyguard. Considering that you are also a strong mentor, I didn't follow you too closely this time. Miss Shanxia likes Have your own private space." The male student in Jacket said very sincerely.
"You go down." Shanxia didn't want to talk to this person anymore and waved her hand.
"Okay, that concert hall..."
"I don't like you talking nonsense in front of my father." Shanxia glared at him.
"I understand, no matter what, thank you, mentor Zhao Yanzu." said the male student in the jacket.
…
Watching the student leave, Zhao Manyan looked thoughtful.
To be honest, Zhao Manyan still can't figure out what this guy's purpose is.
Is he using this student bodyguard to hide his Black Church identity, or is he intentionally using this identity to get close to Shanxia for something...
In short, until now, apart from the evidence that he helped the villagers of Coral Village destroy the violent poppies, Zhao Manyan has not seen him take any other more substantial actions.
"Since this guy can be a bodyguard, it means that his strength is far from as simple as it seems. His identity as a student is also a disguise of his identity as a bodyguard. I don't know what level he is in the Black Church." Zhao Manyan said to himself .
"Do you feel like you're being watched? If it makes you uncomfortable..." Shanxia said apologetically when she saw Zhao Manyan's frown.
"I like to get along with you, so naturally I won't care about these things. But you, the bodyguard, are a little slow in your movements. Although the entire concert hall was arranged by the group of people into an iron cage where the energy will not leak out, he was there. The speed is indeed much slower, I am very worried about you, I wonder if he can protect you." Zhao Manyan said to Shanxia.
"Thank you very much." Shanxia forced a smile.
"No need to thank me anymore. If you really want to repay me, just play for me the music you are good at. I think your artistic attainments are not lower than those of the masters on the stage. If you can enjoy it alone, you will definitely be able to I forget the unpleasant things today." Zhao Manyan made an invitation.
"So where to go?"
"Is your apartment convenient?"
"Hmm... ok." Shanxia hesitated for a while, then nodded.
Zhao Manyan appeared calm on the outside, but he was already playing a symphony of victory in his heart!
Thanks to the group of revolutionary mages for speeding up my progress to this point!
